(A) All installations covered by this subchapter shall be performed in accordance with standard practices currently in use, and recognized from time to time, designed and followed to minimize inconvenience and danger to the public at large. Whenever open cutting of an existing road is permitted, the applicant shall, upon completing the installation, backfill the trench with materials as specified by the County Highway Engineer. All pavement joints must be saw cut to a nice finish. The road surface shall then be promptly replaced with like materials in a condition that is at least equal to, or better than, when cut. When any installation is commenced, the work shall be carried on expeditiously and without any necessary delay. All work shall be supervised and approved by the County Highway Engineer, or performed by the County Highway Department as set forth in § 152.23.
(B) It shall be the duty of all holders of permits issued to this subchapter to erect proper warning signs, barricades, and flares, and to provide flag-men, or other appropriate warning devices commensurate with the risks involved throughout the progress of work, and all holders of permits, or entities performing work that does not require a permit, shall indemnify and save the county harmless from any, and all, claims and causes of action, if any, which may be asserted, or filed, against the county by any person, firm, or corporation, if any, who have been injured or damaged, or claim to have been injured or damaged, on account of any installations made pursuant to this subchapter, or on account of any work done in the making of such installation.
